About
I created the Nature Experiment in 2012 as a multi-media assignment for my university students. They overwhelmingly loved the project, which asked them to reflect on the role of the natural world in their lives.
In the years since, scientific research continues to prove something most of us know at our core - that humans benefit from spending time outdoors in the natural world.
​
Spending time in nature can lower our blood pressure, decrease our stress levels, and improve our mood.
Today, the Nature Experiment is a space where we can reflect, reconnect, and restore ourselves through deepening our sense of biophilia (love of nature).
​​
The Nature Experiment offers:
​
-
workshop facilitation for organisations, workplaces, schools, private parties, or religious institutions
-
a space to publish nature-writing
-
a group of like-minded individuals who want to learn, connect, and enjoy nature

What do you mean by 'nature' and 'the natural world?'
For the purposes of The Nature Experiment, nature is defined as the organic natural world which is not created by humans. This includes non-human animals, plant species, and our environment.
The Nature Experiment recognises that, while humans are part of the natural world, many of us struggle with a tendency to see ourselves as separate from it.
